Anyone done both the series 79 and series 7?
I thought the 79 was a pretty big time commitment, but the book for the 7 appears even more massive. On top of that I am working at the same time so kind of worried.
How was the 7 relative to the 79 in terms of difficulty? appreciate any advice from people that have recently gone through it.
